| PARTY CHECKLIST
|
| Early jobs
|
 |
Call the Party Organiser if you're going to get one.
|
|
Shows - It is important to keep the age group in mind.
|
|
Decorations - If the party is outdoors and the place is large, it is usually a
better idea to let the organisers take care of the decoration. Otherwise, it
is more economical as well as more personalised to do it yourself.
|
|
Booking a venue for the party. Make sure you check what all the price
includes. If it includes only the food, ask them how far in advance you can
drop off the decorations, etc. It saves a lot of last minute bother.
|
|
Return gifts - decide on your budget and the supplier and buy the gifts.
|
|
Wrap the return gifts.
|
|
If you're not getting a party host, organise all the prerequisites like,
punishment chits, parcel to pass around, etc.
|
|
Music - a player as well as the appropriate tapes and CDs.
|
|

Things to buy - Balloons, wall decorations, khoye bag, khoye toys,
paper/ thermacol plates, paper/ thermacol glasses, plastic cups
(If you're serving jelly/ sambar), paper napkins, streamers, party bags for
sweets/ khoye bag toys, wrapping paper for the return gifts and prizes, plastic
spoons and forks, caps, masks, candles, sweets / chocolates and a cake knife.

Organise / decide on the child's party outfit. Try it on the child.
|
The Day Before
|

If the party is at home, plan how to shift the furniture.
|
|
If you're cooking at home list the ingredients and keep them ready.
|
|
Keep the cake knife and candles ready.
|
|
Charge the video camera. Put film in the camera. Buy extra film in case you run out.
|
|
Make boxes of food for the maids, if you find that more convenient.
These boxes can be made in the morning itself.
|
|
Decide where the cake will be cut so that it can be set before the children come
there. Make sure there is enough space to accommodate the maximum
number of children.
